The Shortlist for Dec. 27

Multiple outlets this week are reporting that Kevin Federline's brother, Christopher, tried to file a restraining order against Britney Spears in which he claims she stole his credit card to buy thousands of dollars' worth of comic books and harassed him repeatedly. He also allegedly claims he's the real father of Britney's son, Preston. The Smoking Gun reveals that the whole thing is bunk. Turns out a convicted credit card fraudster named Jonathan Lee Riches planted the fake story. According to TSG, Riches has previously been caught filing lawsuits under fake names against other famous folks including Justin Bieber, Brad Pitt and John Travolta. (Celebitchy)
